The writer wishes to thank all members of the Hoxie family and others who have generously given their time and interest in supplying information and advice in this work. Especial thanks are due and given to Miss Anne Hoxie of Shannock, R. I., for help in research in Rhode Island; to Mrs. Mabel G. Demers of Water­ wille, Maine, for records in that State; to Mr. Floyd E. Hoxie of Genoa, N. Y., for data in connection with New York families. Two who have departed this life also deserve our appreciation, Mrs. Clara E. Hoxie of Waterville, Maine, and Mr. Jesse \V. Hoxie of East Sandwich, Massa­ chusetts. SOURCES OF INFORMATION. To list all sources where data has been obtained would require several pages and would interest few per­ sons. In addition to family sources, official State Vital Records have been copied in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Michigan, California and several other western states, also town records in many New England towns. Many other records are from probate, pension and census sources. The writer has obtained many of these records personally, others have been copied by compe­ tent genealogists. ACCURACY. While the writer has taken great pains to study and evaluate all data and evidence, some mistakes are certain to be made in a work of this scope and character. Mistakes were sometimes made in original entries, others in copying, memories of elder members of the family are sometimes faulty, public records are often incomplete, etc. V.le hope and believe that such mistakes will be minor in character. Where conflicting dates of birth are found, the one which seems the most authentic an<l reasonable has been used. Mistakes in grammar and composition \vill probably be found aplenty and can be ascribed to the writer's failure to acquire an education beyond grade school. METHOD USED IN NUMBERING. The numbering method is, m general, similar to that used in the New England Historical & Genea­ logical Register. Each generation is considered in order, heads of fami­ lies are assigned numbers with the exception of some who left no male heirs or where information was obtained after the system had been set up and number assigned. Thus, m each generation, descendants of Joseph Hoxie are given first, next those of Gideon Hoxie, then of Hezekiah Hoxie, John Hoxsie and Solomon Hoxie, in that order. In cases where a man married two or more times, the facts of such are noted in the entry where his life, occupation, family, etc., are described, but not in the entry where his birth is given together with the births of his brothers and sisters. To cite an example, in entry 16, John Hoxsie is assigned number 43 and the name of his first wife given. Turning to entry 43, it will be found that he married a second time. A word con­ cerning finding your ancestry and assuming that you have found the entry about yourself; note the number given to your father, then turn the pages back to the preceeding generation until that number is found in the second row of numbers, that is, the numbers assigned to the children of your grandfather. In like manner, your line can be traced to the first generation. FURTHER RESEARCH. It is the writer's intention to continue re­ search and, if sufficient interest is shown, to issue a supplement or a second edition of this work, probably the former. Readers are urged to report births, deaths, marriages, bible and other old records to the writer, Mr. L. R. Hoxie, Ukiah, Oregon. Dated January I, 1950. THE HOXIE FAMILY, THREE CENTURIES IN AMERICA. Lodowick Hoxie, the common ancestor of all persons surnamed Hoxie, as variously spelled, in the United States, arrived about 1650 and settled in the Town of Sandwich, in Plymouth Colony. When or where he was born is unknown. His ancestry has been stated by various mem­ bers of the family to have been Scottish, Welsh, English and Dutch. There seems to be a widespread tradition among many branches of the family that we are of Scottish origin. It is to be hoped that further re­ search will sometime definitely establish the time and place of birth of Lodowick Hoxie. It is quite possible that the name Hoxie is a corruption of some other name, such as Hawkes. In fact, records of Lodowick Hawkes in Plymouth Colony records which have been published almost certainly refer to our ancestor, Lodowick Hoxie. In the original records, the name is variously spelled Hawkes, Hakse, Hackse, Hauksie, Hoxie, Hoxy and Hawksie. A family which may have an origin common with our own is spelled Hakes, being descendants of one Solomon Hakes. In a 2 study of the Hakes family published in 1889, Mr. Harry Hakes dis­ cussed the possibility of the two families being closely related, but could find no authentic records to establish or disprove the theory. A list of landholders in Sandwich in 1658 included the names Lodo­ wick Hoxie and Edward Hoxy. No further record has been found of this mysterious Edward Hoxy. It seems safe to conclude that either he left no descendants bearing his surname, or that the spelling became changed. Several versions concerning the parentage of Lodowick Hoxie have been advanced. One is that his father was one Joseph Hoxie, who set­ tled in Reheboth, Massachusetts. Another gave his father as one Barna­ bas Hoxie. As the present writer has been unable to unearth authentic records to establish the facts, he feels that there is little to be gained by mere speculation. In a short history of the Hoxsie lines written by Lyman Kenyon of Westerly, R. I., about 1888, the following statement is made concern­ ing Lodowick Hoxie, "We first find him apprenticed to one John Dex­ ter to pay for his passage to America. When his time was out with Dexter, who was a hatter, he established himself in the same business, at Spring Hill." The writer has been unable to verify this story, the only evidence bearing on the matter being that Thomas Dexter seems to have been the emigrant ancestor, a son John Dexter was born about 1660. Of course it is very possible that there may have been an elder John Dexter. The Sandwich town records show that in 1657, William Bassett paid Lodowick Hoxie, for some service rendered the town, the sum of three shillings. Also, from Plymouth Colony records, among those who took the oath of fidelity in 1657, include Lodowick Hawkes. In 1658, he had six acres of land laid out to him by the persons chosen by the town under order of the Court of New Plymouth, said order requiring the town of Sandwich to choose seven persons to view and set up bounds to every man's land and meadow, to prevent suits and trouble that might arise in regard to boundaries. This place once owned by Lodowick Hoxie was about midway between Sandwich and East Sandwich, on the south side of Spring Hill. Lodowick Hoxie helped distribute powder to the militia and was one of the musketeers that went to Yarmouth to the general muster 3 the first Wednesday in July, 1660. In 1661, he and two others were chosen raters (assessors) of the town. On June 10, 1661, Lodowick Hoxie was fined twenty shillings for refusing to aid the marshal! Barlow in the execution of his duties. Said duties are not explained, but appear to have been connected with the attempt of Plymouth and Sandwich authorities to destroy the Society of Friends, or Quakers. Thus it appears that Lodowick Hoxie became a convert to the Quaker faith at about this time, and later records show beyond doubt that for at least sixty years all members of the family adhered to the Friends. Ministers of the Society of Friends m;:.de their first appearance in this country in the year 1657, about ten years after the beginning of the Society in England. They were Christopher Holder and John Copeland, who landed on the Falmouth shore on the 20th of the 6th month, 1657, and proceeded to the town of Sandwich. There they found fertile soil in the then unsettled condition of religion belief, and by 1658 there were about eighteen families in their flock. In that year, a regular monthly meeting was organized, being the firH Friends organization in America. Severe persecution by Plymouth and Sandwich officials continued until about 1662, many adherents being forced to pay heavy fines for trivial offenses. It appears that Lodowick Hoxie \Vas disenfranchised as a result of his becoming a Quaker, at any rate, he again took the oath of fidelity m 1678, after being admitted a freeman on 23 Feb. 16i5. In 1686, the Colony laws being printed and ordered to l,e published m the several towns, Thomas Tupper and Lodowick Hoxie were ap­ pointed by the town to divide the law-books among the citizens "ac­ cording to the last year's country's rate." The last record we have of Lodowick Hoxie is dated the first month, li04, at which time Robert Harper was appointed to build a new Friends meeting house for one hundred eleven pounds sterling, "except the glass, plastering and ground-pinning." One was to get the shells for lime, another wood, another stone, and Lodowick Hoxie to "Diet the carpenter, for his share." Lodowick Hoxie married Mary Presbury in December, 1664.

Connelly This report shows what I currently (28 Feb. 2011) know about the descendants of Elbridge G. Collins & Mary Ann (Hanes) Collins, my great-great grandparents. Elbridge was born in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1811 and settled in Clayton Co., Iowa in June, 1848, shortly after his marriage to Mary Ann Hanes in 1846. He died in Monona, Iowa in 1875 - I have been there and seen his gravestone. I believe he was the son of the Ebenezer Collins who was enumerated in the 1810 census of Portsmouth, Rhode Island (Elbridge's 2nd son was named Ebenezer), but that is not certain yet.
